Information to start with

Main stages
Initial assessment → scope and terms → document review → preparation of actions → discussion of the next stage. The sequence depends on the matter and the representative’s authority.
What affects timing
Timing depends on documents, the other party and the competent authority. A statutory period is not a promised completion date; suspensions and appointment availability are assessed separately.
Fees and separate expenses
Fees and scope are set out in an individual proposal. Translation, apostille/legalisation, fees, notary, court representative, experts, travel, appointments, in-person attendance and tax services are not included without express agreement.
